"The new keyboards in the recent Macbook Pro redesign are hyper-fragile"
The new keyboards are not fragile in my experience. I'd say that they're probably more robust than the old keyboards in terms of standing up to normal use.
The issue is that they are very difficult to service. You can't easily remove the keys to clean out debris etc like you could with the old version, which could be a problem if they accumulate dust and grime underneath the keycaps.
- thinkythought 9y agothe issue is the amount of dirt it takes to cause issues is extremely small. i've seen machines that were only used on a desk in a clean work space, and never even removed from that desk develop issues within a few months. meanwhile, i've seen previous gen models that were incredibly grimy and used outdoors with no issues. it's a problem that's ONLY effecting apple keyboards right now and that's pathetic
- Reason077 9y agoI know what you mean. I occasionally get crumbs and who-knows-what jamming up my keys, but so far it's always been quick to resolve by either mashing on the key for a bit or blowing some air into it. I do worry about what they'll be like after a few years of use, however. What if stuff keeps accumulating under there, with no easy way to clean it out?
